This application is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/587,846, and it claims the benefit of Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 60/515,537, filed Oct. 28, 2003, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to triazole compounds having HSD1 inhibitory activity.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

11Beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (hereinafter, “11beta-HSD1” or “HSD1”) catalyzes the interconversion of glucocorticoids (hereinafter, “GC”) between inert 11-keto forms (e.g. cortisone, 11-dehydrocorticosterone) and active 11beta-hydroxy forms (e.g. cortisol, corticosterone, respectively). The enzyme, in vivo, prefers the reductase direction from the 11-keto to the 11beta-hydroxy, in other words, the production of active GC.

11Beta-HSD1 is ubiquitously expressed, most notably in liver, lung, adipose tissue, vasculature, ovary and the central nervous system.

Until recently, experimental results have suggested that the active form of GC produced through HSD1 as well as the enzyme itself is involved in several biological actions and diseases.

For example, the active GC is known to stimulate gluconeogenic enzymes and have effects at least in part in inducing hyperglycemia. In this situation, HSD1 can be a second source of GC production in addition to the adrenal glands.

As another example, continuous excessiveness of the active GC in peripheral tissues, as observed in Cushing's syndrome, leads to insulin resistance, where HSD1 is considered to have an important role.

Also, in adipose tissue, active GC is demonstrated to enhance the differentiation of preadipocytes into adipocytes. Mature adipocytes express HSD1 activity, which causes an increase in local concentration of the active form and further expansion of adipose tissue. Such an action of HSD1 should be critical in pathogenesis of obesity.

In addition, a local immunosuppressive effect of HSD1 in placental deciduas, and a relationship between the expression of the enzyme in adrenal cortex and the induction of adrenaline synthesis, are suggested.

(The above are referred to in: Quinkler M, Oelkers W & Diederich S (2001) European Journal of Endocrinology Vol. 144, Pages 87-97; and Seckl J R & Walker B R (2001) Endocrinology Vol. 142, Pages 1371-1376.)

According to the above suggestions, it is expected that drugs having inhibitory effects against HSD1 would be useful for treating or preventing diabetes mellitus, obesity, metabolic syndrome in connection with any of such diseases, or any other diseases which occur by reason of the actions of HSD1.

Diabetes mellitus, main feature of which disease is chronic hyperglycemia, introduces various metabolic abnormalities and shows symptoms of thirst, polydipsia, polyuria, and so on based on high glucose concentration. Continuing hyperglycemic state would also lead to diabetic complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and myocardial and/or cerebral infarction by reason of arteriosclerosis.

In treating diabetes, moderate suppression of hyperglycemia is critical in order that onset and progress of the complications would be repressed. For these purposes, dietetics, ergotherapy and pharmacotherapy are utilized in combination on a suitable basis and, amongst the pharmacotherapy, many approaches different in mechanisms of action have been attempted. In spite of those various existing methods, sufficient therapeutic effect has not ever been achieved.

Obesity is defined as a state of fatness coinciding with any disease that would be improved or not be progressed in case of weight decrease (e.g. diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension) or with an excessive amount of fat in viscera. It is considered that, if such a state should continue, at least two of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and etc. would concur, and then onset of myocardial and/or cerebral infarction by reason of arteriosclerosis would occur.

Major therapeutic methods in treating obesity are dietetics and ergotherapy, and pharmacotherapy is undertaken only if necessary, for example, because of difficulty in the first two alternatives. However, the existing drugs have several problems in adverse effects and usages, since most of them suppress feeding mainly via central action.

In consequence, development of any drug to treat diabetes and/or obesity with a novel mechanism of action has so far been required. Under these circumstances, it is expected that drugs having inhibitory effects against HSD1 would be useful as another alternative with separate mechanistic approach to treat diabetes mellitus, as well as a novel “adipose tissue-acting” class among other drugs against obesity.

As drugs in development to treat diabetes and/or obesity through inhibition of HSD1, for example, WO 03/065983 discloses triazole compounds of the following general formula:

Experimental Example In Vitro HSD1 (Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 1) Activity Inhibitory Action

The HSD1 inhibitory activity was examined by quantitative determination by an SPA (scintillation proximity assay) system of the suppressive action on the conversion from cortisone to cortisol using human HSD1 (hereinafter recombinant HSD1) expressed using a baculo-virus system as an enzyme source. For the reaction, a reagent was added to a 96 well plate (96 well Opti-plates™-96 (Packard)) to the following final concentration and a volume of 100 μl was reacted at room temperature for 90 min. The reaction solution used was 0.1 μg/ml recombinant HSD1, 500 μM NADPH, 16 nM ³H cortisone (Amersham Biosciences, 1.78 Tbq/mol) dissolved in 0.1% BSA (Sigma)-containing PBS and the test drug was 2 μl of a compound solution (dissolved in DMSO). After 90 min, the reaction was stopped by adding PBS (40 μl, containing 0.1% BSA (Sigma)) containing 0.08 μg of anti-cortisol mouse monoclonal antibody (East Coast Biologics), 365 μg SPA PVT mouse antibody-binding beads (Amersham Biosciences) and 175 μM carbenoxolone (Sigma) to the reaction solution. After the completion of the reaction, the plate was incubated overnight at room temperature and the radioactivity was measured by Topcount (Packard). For control, the value (0% inhibition) of the well containing 2 μl of DMSO instead of the test drug was used, and for positive control, the value (100% inhibition) of the well containing carbenoxolone instead of the test drug at the final concentration of 50 μM was used. The inhibition (%) of the test drug was calculated by ((value of control−value of test drug)/(value of control−value of positive control))×100 (%). The IC₅₀ value was analyzed using a computer-based curve fitting soft. The obtained results are shown in the following Table.
